Loved this hotel! So much charm and class! Lovely breakfast. Interesting pubs connected to the hotel. Right in the heart of everything downtown. Great experience! The room is a bit dated and the bathroom needed an upgrade - the shower curtain clung to us as we showered, but the location and overall charm made up for it. We would stay here again!

When I reserved our room, I wasn’t told that we would be directly above the ballroom and that “Disco Night” would be held during our stay. We endured LOUD POUNDING music until shortly before midnight. All I got was “sorry” when I called the front desk to complain.

This was a fun location, downtown, with 3 stories of pubs. Bakery and coffee shop across the street. Our only complaint is that even though we made our reservation well in advance for two rooms, four adults, one of the rooms we were given was a handicap accessible room which made showering a challenge, resulting in a very wet bathroom.

Fine hotel. Nice staff. A bit aged but clean and very noisy as construction going on very early. Noisy street and pub noise at night. Nice beds. Tough night sleeping above noise.

An older property in a convenient location. Very nice staff. Restaurant serves a tasty breakfast at a reasonable price. Only negatives are: shower curtain sticks to your body while showering because it’s too short and tub is narrow; hair dryer power button must be depressed during drying process which hurts my hand after a while.

Not for the light sleeper
Location is ideal for the city, and the breakfast was great, however don’t discount the noise problem. The hotel encompasses a nightclub and our room, at least, was severely impacted (a family member in a nearby room reported no problems, in fairness). Thumping music until the early hours (this was midweek and music went to 2.30-3am) followed by rowdy, drunk patrons inside and outside of the hotel. We got little sleep over our 2 nights.
